Why won’t my chicken leave the nest box?

Why do you say not broody? Is she staying on the nest at night? You do not need a rooster for hens to go broody, and even if a hen is high production it can still go broody.

I suppose so, it just seemed odd for her. She is usually the first one in and out of the nest box. But yes, she is staying in at night too. - but I didn’t think much of that because LOTS of my chickens do sleep in the nest boxes (they sometimes pile in together) lol

Broody hen

Really? You think so as well? Okay, so how long does that usually go on? I don’t ever leave eggs in the boxes- I grab them as quickly as I am able. Is there anything I should/can do?
